Olive Butter Comedogenic Rating

UnratedButterDisputed

Olive Butter has no established comedogenic rating: no source we cite puts it on the 0–5 scale. If you are acne-prone, judge it by how your skin reacts, and patch-test products where it sits near the top of the ingredient list.

Olive Butter is one of 26 ingredients, out of the 216 in our dataset, that none of our cited sources gives a comedogenic number, so we leave it unrated instead of guessing.

Comedogenic ratings come mostly from rabbit-ear assays and small human patch tests of the pure ingredient at high concentration, so they are a screening guide, not a prediction for your skin or a medical claim.

What a —/5 rating means

Because no dependable rating exists, judge Olive Butter by how your own skin responds rather than by a number. The absence of a score is not the same as a zero — it simply means the ingredient has not been reliably tested on the classic comedogenic scale.

About Olive Butter

It is a rich plant butter that melts at skin temperature, prized for cushiony moisture. Olive oil hardened with a hydrogenated vegetable fraction into a butter, used in rich body and cuticle products. It is named on the CLEARSTEM and AcneClinicNYC pore-clogging ingredient lists, but neither publishes a 0-5 comedogenic score for it and no Fulton-derived table we cite carries one. We therefore leave it unrated rather than invent a number — treat the listing itself as the signal.

On a label it can read as Olive Butter, Olea Europaea Fruit Butter, Olive Oil Butter — worth knowing when you scan an ingredient deck.

Olive Butter in makeup and skincare

You'll meet it in stick foundations, cream products, and rich lip colour, as well as body and face creams.

If you deal with fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis) rather than ordinary clogged pores, note that Olive Butter is among the fatty-acid or ester-type ingredients that community sources commonly avoid — a separate concern from its comedogenic score, and one with weaker evidence behind it.
